How to Make Eggnog!

The other day I decided to make homemade eggnog for my White Elephant party tomorrow night. Because Alton Brown is my kitchen hero, I immediately headed over to foodtv.com and found his recipe. I decided to test several versions, and photograph & document the process for you guys. I started by trying the uncooked version. Obviously, if you’re concerned about salmonella, use pasteurized eggs. Verdict: Easy and Yummy.
Version 2 was the cooked version, also from Alton. Verdict: More difficult, but I haven’t tasted it yet! (It’s still chilling). See below the pic for the how-to’s.

Based off some of the comments on the Food Network site, that the eggwhites were superflous, I decided to leave the eggwhites out of the cooked version I did. However I did really enjoy the lightness they brought to the Version 1, so in the future i’d recommend.
